I'm pretty sure I've read every word of every relevant thread so far, so please don't ask me to refer to a previous posting.

Every time an update is run, AVG asks me to restart. When I restart, it asks me to restart again. BTW, this issue began when I upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1.

I've tried everything that has been suggested in previous posts, although deleting the updatecomps.cfg file was impossible as I could not figure out how to give myself permission to do so. (That's an entirely different discussion . . . I was logged in on the account that it said I needed permission from . . . aargh!)

Have there been any developments in this area that I haven't noticed in the last month or so (that was the date of the last post I saw on this topic)?

This was the last communique received from the AVG Team.. Have a look @ Weekly Overview: 46/2013(Scroll Down).. Restart is required repeatedly after upgrade. Subscribe to this RSS feed if you want to be notified about new Weekly Overviews.

I have tried every single thing that has been suggested in this forum to alleviate my problem. It has now been almost a week since my virus database has been properly updated. I am about one day away from uninstalling your software and trying a different product. Please tell me that there is some sort of fix that actually works coming soon or I will be telling everyone I know that AVG doesn't work anymore.

This pains me because AVG has made my computer impregnable for over 5 years now, and I really don't want to make a change. But I'm not protected right now, and I'm not willing to wait for the bugs to be worked out.
